GLAZIER S POINT Filed June 11, 1927 Patented June 17, 19 30 rnnnnmcx xnwoursr, or Essnx, Iowa amzmn's rom'r Application filed June 11, 1927. Serial No. 198,220.

The object of my invention is to provide a glaziers point of simple, durable and comparatively inexpensive construction.

More particularly, my invention relates to a glaziers point wherein a portion thereof is adapted to rest against the glass pane, another portion projecting into the wood sash into which the glass pane is to be mounted, and still another portion intermediate of the two portions referred to, which is adapted to rest upon a flat surface of the window sash.

Still another object is to provide an offset intermediate the ends of a glaziers point for providing a shoulder for receiving a tool or the like wherein the glaziers point may be inserted in a window sash without danger of striking the glass pane.

Still another object is to provide a device wherein either end may be'used for insertion in the the wood and either end used to abut against the glass pane.

Still a further object is to provide an offset in the glaziers point arranged to rest upon a flat surface of the window sash and thus serve as a stop for limiting. the amount of insertion of the point into the wood frame or sash.

With these and other objects in view, my invention consists in the construction, arrangement and combination of the various parts of my glaziers point, whereby the obects contemplated are attained, as hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in my claim, and illustrated in drawings, in which: 4

Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved glaziers point.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the blank from which the point is formed.

Figure 3 is a perspective view of a window the accompanying sash with several of the points installed there- Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Figure 3, illustrating a tool or the like used for pressing the point into position.

Figure 5 is a sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Figure 3, disclosing the point in installed position; and

Figure 6 is a sectional view taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 3.

In the accompanying drawings, I have used the reference character A to indicate generally a window sash, which is provided with a pane of glass 10.

The frame,

formed with a shoulder which forms the sash A, is

12 against which the glass 10 is designed to rest, as clearly illustrated in the drawings.

After the glass is inserted against the shoulder 12, I use glazi ers points B for retaining the glass in position.

My glaziers point is formed of a single blank of material as of the drawings.

The point B includes disclosed in Figure 2 a central body member 14 substantially rectangular in outline,

and has a triangular p side edge of the entire blank from which ortion 16 upon each body portion 14, so that the the point B is formed is substantially diamond-shaped.

The blank of Figure bent upon the dotted the body portion 14 in 2 is arranged to be lines 18 for arranging a substantially horias the the sash A. Either the glass for retaining it After the glass is point for projecting into the wood of point may rest against in position.

inserted in the sash 10,

a glaziers point B is placed in the position relative to the glass and sash as shown in Figure 4 of the drawings.

A tool or block 20 of any be placed upon the bod forcing it downwardly y portion 14 and by or tapping the tool with a-hammer, one of the triangular ends 16 will be forced into the sash A, while the other point will rest against the glass 10.

The body portion serves as a stop for limiting the amount of in into the .wood frame. also serves as a means the point into position.

sertion of the point The body portion 14 whereby a tool or the like may be placed thereagainst for forcing It will be noted that by providing the oil'- set or body portion 14, I

amabletouseatool suitable kind may I or the like for tap ing the point and forcing it into position, re ucmg to a very minimum, the likelihood of tapping the window and cm it. 5 The dy portion 14, which is ofiset, provides a suitable portion for engagement when forcing the point into effective position.

After the points have been inserted, then pug? 22 is used in the ordinary manner.

ith my glaziers points, it is a very easy matter to insert them and 1t is also an easy matter to withdraw them when desired.

Some chan 5 may be made in the construction an arrangement of the various parts of m glaziers-point without de artmg from t e real spirit and purpose 0 my invention, and it is my intention to coverby my claim, any modified forms of structure or use of mechanical equivalents, which may be reasonably included within their scope.

I claim as my invention:

A giaziers point comprisin a sheet metal mem r having similar pointe ends of equal length and a comparatively wide central per- 5 tion, said member being bent so that the pointed ends extend in opposite directions and lie in parallel planes, the central portion forming a shoulder at right angles to the pointed ends, said glaziers point being capale of reversal for the use of'either en thereof to enter a window frame and retain a pane of glass therein.
